20/11/2010

If you’re prepared to book, pack and go, you can get yourself a return ticket to Goa from London Gatwick, with 7 days full board in a four star hotel for just over £500 (hotel prices are based on two adults sharing a room). Lastminute.com is offering this great deal for those able to fly out on the 8th of December.

The Baywatch Resort Hotel alone has enough state of the art facilities to keep you amused, with gym, sauna, steam room, massage and spa offering a full selection of pampering treatments. There’s a swimming pool and a children’s pool, surrounded by lush green lawns, for safe water frolics and this beachfront hotel is situated along the Colva Beach coastline on the white sands of the Sernabatim Beach.

If you do manage to drag yourself off the poolside loungers and away from the pool bar, Margao, the commercial capital of Goa is just 3 miles away. This historic city still exudes the cultural influence of the Portuguese, and you can stroll round town and try the local food in one of the numerous eateries. The hotel’s multi-cuisine restaurant also offers an eclectic mix of Oriental, Continental, Indian and Goan dishes.

Renowned for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, Goa is a popular hotspot with European tourists in winter who are attracted by its fabulous climate. So book now for the winter holiday of a lifetime!
